🎄 Relationships at Christmas can feel more stressful than joyful

The festive season brings closeness, traditions… and sometimes tension. Expectations, family dynamics, and emotional triggers can make even strong relationships feel challenging.

Our latest blog explores why relationships feel harder at Christmas and practical ways to manage stress, expectations, and emotional triggers.

đź’¬ Not sure if couples counselling is right for you or your partner?

Many people think therapy is only for relationships in crisis. In reality, lots of couples and individuals come to therapy because they feel stuck, emotionally disconnected, or unsure how to talk about what’s really going on.

You don’t need to be at breaking point.
You don’t even need to agree on whether therapy is the answer.

Couples counselling and relationship therapy can offer a calm, supportive space to:
✨ understand repeated patterns
✨ improve communication
✨ reconnect emotionally
✨ think more clearly about next steps

I’ve written a blog that gently explores how to know whether therapy might be right for you or your partner.

We’ve started using attachment styles as labels… and sometimes even as weapons.
“You’re avoidant.”
“You’re anxious.”
“You’re the problem.”

But attachment patterns were never meant to shame us—they were meant to explain us.
To help us understand why we panic… or pull away… or shut down when love feels risky.

In my latest blog, I explore how anxious and avoidant partners can actually support each other in moments of trigger, and why the real issue isn’t your attachment style—it’s the fear underneath.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, overwhelmed, or stuck in the same cycles, this one’s for you.

✨ Not all sparks are created equal. ✨

That flutter in your chest? That racing heart? Sometimes it’s chemistry… sometimes it’s just old patterns showing up. 💔

True love isn’t just excitementit’s emotional safety. The kind of love where you can be yourself, feel seen, and actually rest in the relationship. 🕊️

Discover the difference between chemistry and safety, and learn how to spot the love that heals rather than triggers you.

💭 “Why do we keep fighting about the same things?”
It’s one of the most common questions couples ask when they come to therapy - and it’s often the key to understanding what’s really going on beneath the arguments.

The truth is, most fights aren’t about the surface issue. They’re about unspoken needs, fears, or feelings of not being heard.
In therapy, we slow things down, explore those patterns, and help couples reconnect through understanding rather than blame.

✨ I’ve just published a new blog that explores:
đź’¬ Why couples repeat the same arguments
đź’¬ How therapy helps you communicate differently
đź’¬ A simple at-home reflection exercise to try tonight

And because small changes make the biggest difference, you can now download my free Couples Therapy Reflection Worksheet - five gentle questions designed to help you and your partner reconnect and talk in new ways.

✨ New Relationship Anxiety? You’re Not Alone ✨

Starting a new relationship can feel exciting… and unsettling at the same time.
Maybe you’ve asked yourself:
💭 “Is it normal to have doubts this early?”
💭 “Why do I feel anxious even though things are going well?”
💭 “How do I know if this is healthy?”

These feelings are completely natural in the early stages of love. What matters is how you work through them.

I’ve written a new blog to help you understand those early worries and turn them into opportunities for clarity, confidence and connection. 💕
